Error finalizing dvd-rw??

Question

I tried to finalize a dvd-rw that had film clips on it from my camcorder. it goes through the whole process then says disc error. This, im guessing, is why it shows up as blank on my comp. Please help, my project is on there!

Answer 1

There are 3 types of files on DvD disc=>.vob, .ifo & .bup. IFO is an index file containing navigational info, i.e., where a video chapter begins & where audio & subtitle streams exist w/in the movie (VOB) file. Only the video.vob file is used for editing - convert if not supported.

>>> Capture VOB files (MPEG-2 also) direct  using VStudio11 & Power Director

or  .FREE.  w/WMMaker

Unfortunately, .vob is not supported by wmmaker. Convert video.vob files to avi or wmv first before import to editing app.

=>Try Prism or Kates (free video converters)

- google, download & open app

- set supported output format/resolution (avi; wmv) & pc folder destination

- insert  DvD disc to pc drive

- add video.vob files from DvD folder/Video_TS

- click convert...converted files are saved to set pc folder

video editing process- XP/wmm2

      >>> open wmm- start/all programs/wmm->TASK pane

1. Capture video stream** - editing software remotely controls vcam operations

2. Edit- drag/drop video files->timeline & enhance w/effects, transition, music & titles

3. Finish (render)- save Movie –OK for youTube, also save Project.msmmw file

      >>> Share-burn to CD (if DvD, use DvD authoring app, e.g.,DvD Flick, Nero, etc.)

For Vista/wmm6, t’is similar: Import/ Edit/ Publish/ WindowsDVD or Nero for authoring

Answer 2

You can't finalize a dvd-rw, you have to convert the files using a file converter program such as handbbrake (free download).

Read you manual, it's probably in very tiny print.
